The services offered by Outsource Fluid Solutions were individually developed to insure an operator autonomy from the fluid product provider, while insuring that technical competence is not only maintained, but improved. Pricing is based on the nature, scope, and geographic area of the project, though when effectively applied, the cost of our services is negligible in comparison to performance improvements and reductions in project fluid expenditures.
Fluid Product Bid Preparation- The initial step in reducing fluid cost is to engage the suppliers in the form of an RFP. This can prove challenging in the fact that drilling fluid products and their application are intentionally ambiguous by nature. The process begins with a review of the past well records and the preparation of regional bid applications based on actual drilling plans. Once the product usage for each region of operations is calculated, a bid application will be prepared in generic description and submitted to vendors of the client's choice, with time restraints for completion and a full compliment of stipulations to protect our customer. Upon completion, the product bid is evaluated, while taking into account not only per unit pricing, but vendor service capability, and proximity of the facilities to the actual operations. Out customer is then provided an executive RFP summary, detailing a "best buy" recommendation for each region of operation.
Drilling Fluid Planning - While reviewing past well records to formulate product consumptions, our technical staff will simultaneously review the past fluid performance and utilize gained information in the preparation of a comprehensive fluid plan, taking into account all associated well bore concerns, and provide specific performance improvement recommendations.
Work-over, Completions, Coil Tubing Operations-Extending the life cycle of a well bore is vital in today's industry, allowing for additional revenues from past drilling expenditures. The OFS management and technical team have been actively involved in this segment of the industry since 1987 and maintain a vast data base of information on work-over and completion processes, and understand the critical nature of applying effective, yet non damaging chemical formulations.
Execution - While formulating the fluid plan, individual OFS representatives will be selected to provide case specific expertise; providing the daily supervision of the fluid properties, while maintaining independence from the fluid provider. Fluid operations will be monitored by an OFS technical supervisor and client communication provided in the form of a daily executive fluid summary.
Documentation - Upon completion of the project, the operator will be provided a fluid performance record, with recommendations for ongoing improvement.
Office Fluid Supervisors - In some instances an operator would prefer to have a member of our technical staff work on an exclusive and daily basis with their drilling team. The executive management of OFS will conduct an interview with the drilling team and ascertain the qualifications of the best suited candidate. The operator can then elect to utilize the fluid supervisor on a continuous basis, or a temporary, "as need" basis to implement processes and improvements.
Solids Control Evaluation - Controlling detrimental drill solids is crucial to drilling fluid quality, well bore stability, and density control. The OFS technical staff can provide an independent evaluation of mechanical solids control equipment and make the necessary recommendations to insure the most economical solution, custom to client need and application.
Drilling Fluid Training - The management of Outsource Fluid Solutions has a long history of conducting client fluid seminars to insure that our customers are abreast of new product developments and changes in fluid applications. Training can either be conducted in the customer office or in an OFS training facility, and will be customized to individually address the client's geographic and operational needs, time restraints, and cost.
Performance Evaluation - Perhaps you wish to continue with your present vendor and personnel, though desire an independent opinion of performance and fluid formulations. Outsource Fluid Solutions will apply it's years of experience to insure that the correct fluid system is being utilized and provide formal recommendations for reduction in overall cost through enhanced performance.
Research and Development - Outsource Fluid Solutions offers a full compliment of basic drilling fluid testing, in addition to assistance in product development and performance evaluation for drilling, completion, or work-over projects with unique challenges.
Compliance Engineers - In the case of synthetic drilling fluid application in the US GOM, certain criteria must be maintained in terms of retention on cuttings and associated discharge limitations. Outsource Fluid Solutions provides compliancy monitoring services, on either an individual basis, or coupled with onsite fluid engineering services.
Quality Control Services - Prior to transporting drilling or completion fluids to a rig location, it is prudent to insure that fluid properties and volumes are as agreed, in addition to verifying cleanliness of the transport vessel. Outsource Fluid Solutions will perform all necessary inspections and testing, accompanying the same with a client verification report.
